WCQ 2022: Iran - UAE (Info, Reports, and Live Updates)

[PSGman#19]

I think we should play Korea full-power and try to win. Against UAE we could use a mixture of A and B-Squad. And Against Lebanon we can safely experiment and still win this game.

Y. Salmani should play (at least some good minutes as sub) and stating against lebanon. I hope he won't find an excuse for not being there.

My line up for uae :
Abed- milmo, yazdani, kanaani, hardani - ezza, amiri, Ghoddos- taremi (lw), Jb (rw) - Zahedi (fw).

Sub during 2nd half : Gholizadeh, aghasi

Sorry guys I'm not close to sponsorship topics but wouldn't puma or Adidas sponsor us in WC?

Nope, they are doing business in the devils nest of America. Their masters (USA) wouldn‘t let them do business with us. In the end, european countries are slaves of america

Unfortunately, for some reasons, Dragan doesn't like the way Rezaeian is playing and Dragan himself even admitted this in an interview. Also when PAG was fit in the last round, he was 2nd choice after Shoja and Kanaani. If a coach prefers Shoja over PAG, then I will keep doubting him, no matter which results he achieves. Now people praise him because we qualified but wait until Shoja faces a real striker who plays in a better league than Iraqi league or 3rd division England.

I think Moharrami will always have the edge because he plays in the Croatian league and might even speak some Croatian. The problem with Moharrami are his defensive errors and poor crossing skills. I also think that our Middlefield is much more dynamic without Nourollahi: Amiri-Ezzi-ARJ or Ghoddus would be perfect IMO.
If PAG is fit he MUST replace Shoja, the guy is stiff as a tree, i don't want to imagine how he breaks his ankles when facing likes of Neymar, Hazard, Messi, Suarez, Salah etc.

I dont get how some people here still mentioned rezaeian seriously...Have you checked in on the guy in the past few years?? I think the reason may be nostalgia related, certainly his WC performances, that game vs SK in azadi stand out in our minds. But that was many years ago. Players should be judged for their current level and how it compares to others in their position in the national team setup.

Ramin is playing as a right winger or center forward for the dead last team in Qatar...He scores some goals now and again, hardly what Sko or anybody else is considering when picking a right back.

Moharrami fought off competition from Slovakia starting right back Stojanovic. The guy was dinamo's starter for many years and sadegh displaced him. As a result, they gave sadegh a new bumper deal and loaned out this guy to italy. Now he is the starter for 12th place Serie A side empoli, a decent gauge of his level (and by extension level of Moharrami).

This season he was injured and battling with another good player, Macedonia starter who came from Sporting Lisbon, ristovski. After returning from initial injury he is mainly rotating with him and had some very solid games vs Genk and Rapid Vienna in the Europa League as well.

Now by no means is Moharrami perfect. He is majorly injury prone (what stunts his progress in Dinamo) and still hasn't fully shaken his bad habits of switching off defensively, although he is much better in this aspect than before arriving in croatia. For this combo of reasons we need to find a solid backup for him. Even in his current state I feel uncomfortable having him start 2 TM matches in quick succession. Sko seems to have picked Hardani for that role, but doesn't trust him enough to give him the minutes he needs so that he is ready if sadegh is one day not fit for an important match. Many people believe esmailifar is the better choice there, and I tend to agree on current form.

But ramin doesnt even enter equation. He had a good spell in TM in previous era and definitely had his good qualities. He was a good crosser, good energy, but his positional sense if given license to roam forward was generally a liability and his touch, particularly under any sort of decent pressure was usually garbage. Since then he has certainly lost a step and his club situation proves it. We have better options now and are much better off investing in a 25 year old, regular for strong euro club like Moharrami who will be around for the next 7 years.

Thought his performance the other night was also very solid.

I was checking our roster and noticed majority are ages between 25 to 29 years old and 3 or 4 playerd above 30 yrs which is pretty good and one of the reasons why we are physically above others. I would say in next 4 years we need more youngsters to be in the squad.

Agreed. Ramin is a decent backup but calling for him to start must be a result of people feeling nostalgic about his time with TM.

moharami had his best gameagainst iraq and he was no
show on offense .
defense wise he be ok against arab competition
but against speedy teams s.korea japan and in the wc
he will get exposed and he is or weakness.
I DONT UNDERSTAND
WHY DANIAL ESMAIL from sepahan didnt get a call up

I agree that Ramin has his flaws, but we have to compare him with Moharami. At least in my impression Moharami makes to many errors in our build up game, his physique is not the strongest and his crosses are underdeveloped. I would also argue that we are much more dynamic with Ramin and have much more attacking options. There must be a reason that CQ sticked mostly with Rezaian. At least i would like to give Rezaian a chance to prove himself for TM. He did a great job against Spain&Portugal! Who knows maybe there is another guy out there, who could be a better option as RB than both Moharami and Rezaian. IMO our biggest issue is Shoja, RB- and LB- Position.

Totally agreed
I wld say the same for PAG.
Who has seen him play recently? How is his form?
Has he been a regular starter for his club? How is the club doing, defensively?

Merely saying X shd replace Y bcoz 3 years ago he was in form is simply wrong n hazardous to one's health in pfdc.

Hopefully we will refuse any khareji sponsor for these wc and stick with merooj

There was another manufacturer who had some great designs as someone posted last week. I forgot the name. Was it Afkam? Aftam? Theirs also looked very well designed

If not and if we persist wt Merooj, I really hope they hire a decent designer to do the WC kits.
Certainly with more care and dedication to finer aspects of design and presentation
